WORLD'S WEEK;

By HAROLD L. WEIR
Assoc, Editor, The Edmonton Bulletin

The thorny question of renewed
Franco-German collaboration appears
to have struck an early snag in Chief
of State Marshal Henri Philip Petain’s
refusal to agree to important new
Nazi demands,

Vichy showed an inclination to pick
up “collaboration” following German
announced advances in Russia which
made a deep impression on many of
the easily convinced leaders of the
new France, The Nazis took immediate
advantage of the situation and said
that Vichy must make a token move
as evidence of good faith in future
dealings,

All they asked was the removal of
Gen, Weygand as commander of the
French north African forces and per-
haps his appointment to some distant
unrelated post,

The demand, foreshadowed for some
time in Vichy, carried considerable
concern there, Few doubt that it was
but a forerunner of insistence on ad-
ditional concessions although for the
moment the Nazis are not asking fur-
ther north African facilities, which
Petain strongly opposes.

The disappearance of Gen, Weygand
as an active leader would remove, a- |
side from the Marshal himself, "the
last major uncertain factor in French
reactions to German plans, The de-|

mand was presented to Adm’! Darlan |

in Paris the middle of last week al-
most in the form of an ultimatum
although it carried no specified time
limit, In event of refusal, the Nazis
declared, they would reconsider the
“armistice terms.”

Aside from its strategic importance,
the North African problem has anoth. |
er important aspect, Many fee] that
the question of Franco-American rela- |
tionships hinges on Vichy’s course.
Concessions would provoke a rupture
with the United States—a éondition
the Nazis have been trying for some |

months to achieve,
a

The fate of French North Africa is |
one of the most vital phases of the |

entire policy of collaboration, Vichy
has resisted—formally, at any rate,
but each new German set-back has
been followed by altered demands, us-
ually for French concessions, although
on a reduced scale,

It may now be disclosed that on
May 28 the collaborationists supported
by Adm’l Darlan reached an agree-
ment with the Nazis for turning over
the important naval base of Bizerta
and holding out promises of a similar
surrended of Casablanca in the near
future,

in return the Freieh were: offered
certain relatively small concessions re-
garding the demarcation line and oth-
er internal relationships, The agree-
ment was to have been implemented
on July 15 but Marshal] Petain re-
fused to initial it, using as technical

grounds the alleged Nazis failure to}
honor their end of the bargain, Adm’l |

Darlan himse]f is reported to be chag-

rined by the German double-dealing |

and to be less trustful now of their
promises,

The steady advance of German ar-
mies in Russia~ intensified debate in
the United States and Britain as to
why the British do not attempt a
new invasion of the continent as a

means of relieving Russia of German

pressure,

Both official and private advices
strongly indicate that the British have
thoroughly canvassed the possibilities

CARBON OLD TIMERS TO
HAVE BANQUET, DANCE
ON THURSDAY, NOV. 13

The annual banquet and dance of
the Carbon Old Timer’s Association is
to be held in the Farmers Exchange
hall, Carbon on Thursday, November
13th, The banquet is scheduled to com-
mence at 7:00 p.m, sharp, and_ the
committee in charge promise a boun-
tiful repast,

According to wording on the posters,
now distributed, “the banquet will be
followed by a super-interesting, and
super-amusing program of local tal-
ent, assisted by Humorous, Half-baked
Hollywood Humdingers, Mrs, Trainor’s
famous “Hell Bellies” orchestra — will
furnish the music, and the admission
jcharge will be, each person, banquet
50c; Dance 50c.

“Qualifications to attend—(40-0z)—
Those who came to Alberta before De-
‘cember 81, 1911, and have resided in
the Carbon district for five years, their
wives or husbands, and families 20
years of age and over, Also those who
|have resided in the Carbon district for
{25 years.”

C.H. Nash is president of the Car-
bon Old Timers’ Association, and H.M.
McNaughton will be the floor manager
on the above occasion.

The slogan “Make new friends, but
keep the old; The new are silver, the
old ones Gold” has been adopted,

The Old Timers look for a_ large
jcrowd this year at their annual gath-
ering, and you are cordially invited to
attend if you come under the stated
qualifications,

[ nn
{and so seriously doubt their ability to
make a successful invasion of Norway,
France or Italy at this moment that
they have no intention of making such
an attempt,

In the opinion of American ag well
/as British military experts the British
do not have sufficient trained men and
adequate material to stage a success-
ful invasion in the west this fall.

An unsuccessful attempt at invas-
ion would have such disasterous con-
sequences for Great Britain itself and
for the anti-Axis cause umong the
conquered peoples that ‘it would be
a foolish undertaking,

It is possible, of course, that Win-
ston Churchill may #nd@° they @niet
for a diversion so potent as to compel
an attempt at invasion in the west
despite its obvious risks but there
were no such indications last week.

To this commentator it appears to
be much more likely that the British
will throw such military strength as
they can give Russia into the Caucas-
us in an attempt, to keep the Germans
out of the oi] fields which are their
primary objective in the present cam-
paign,

If Hitler can get the oil of the Cau-
}casus and Iran he will be in a_ posi-
tion to wage war indefinitely and the
chances of successful resistance by

Great Britain and the United States
| will be drastically reduced,

The Germans calculate that they
can rehabilitate the Caucasus oil fields
to at least 50 per cent capacity with-
in six months regardless of damage
done by the Russians,

BUSINESS LICENSE BY DEC, Ist.

Departmental and country general
stores, large hotels and soda bars; ev-
ery person or firm in Canada dealing
in food, feed, livestock, poultry, cloth-
ing or footwear, must get a license
from Wartime Prices and Trade Board
by December of this year.

There is no license fee, Application
forms will be distributed through the
mail late this month, and any business |
man subject to the order who does not
receive an application form should ap- |
ply for one at his post office,

Each licencee receives a number}

Only one group exempt from the
far-reaching plan are those who serve
as the fountain-head for the nation’s
eating and clothing needs—the pro-
ducers themselves, A farmer may sell
his own eggs or butter or vegetables
without a license and a sheep rancher
may sell his wool,

While an individual farmer, garden-
er, livestock or poultry producer, or
fisherman is not required to secure a

THE WORLD OF WHEAT
REVIEWED WEEKLY BY
MAJOR H.G.L. STRANGE

Some people blame the economic
system known as “laissez-faire” for
the accumulation of the Canadian
wheat surplus, and so fur the present
low price of wheat,

By “laissez-faire” is meant that or-
der which for long we had become
used to, and by which merchants sold
the farmers’ products on the markets
ofthe world, and brought back to
farmers in exchange the goods and
commodities made by city people; and
all without any undue interferences
by Governments, The fact, however,
that wheat markets have been lost,
and that a wheat surplus has aceumu-
lated, is evidence, allege these people,
that the system of “laissez-faire” has
broken down, and so must be replaced
by a so-called “planned economy”,

The truth is that is is not “laissez-
faire” that has failed, but that Gov-
ernments with their policies of high
tariffs, quotas and other restrictions
to international trade, have interfered
with that healthy system of “laissez-
faire” and so have made it impossible
for merchants to perform their proper
functions,

What is needed, therefore, is not the
abolishing of “laissez-faire” but rather

the abolishing of those tariff walls and |

other ingenious interferences with le-
gitimate trade, that have prevented
“laissez-faire” from functioning in the

interests of farmers and of all of us.:

was held in the Scout hall, when over
60 guests were present,

Mr, and Mrs, Kaughman left later in
the evening for Calgary and will re-

Fight For Victory

War is no longer just a series of tactical exercises between professional
soldiers. It is nation against nation, says a writer in the Financial Post.

Hitler has pitted the force and strength of the entire German people
(and all the slave labor and “loot” of a rich continent) against the re-

sources-- human, material and spiritual—of the democratic nations. He
fights--as we must fight- with political weapons, psychological weapons
and economic weapons,

In an “all-out” fight for Victory, the whole population is engaged.

Every John Canuck has some Hans Schmidt whose effort he must matech—
and surpass. Thus there is in Canada a factory front. There is a metals
front, a financial front, a farm front. Together they comprise the economic
front, equal in importance to the military front comprised of the fighting
armies, air squadrons and naval ships.

A machine gun costs $500, It takes tens of thousands
to equip our troops. A tank costs $75,000. We are making hundreds. A
bomber plane costs $100,000. A dozen can crash in a night.

Ponder on those simple facts and you see why 18 workers on the home
front are needed to keep one combatant in the field. You see why the
economic front is a “front” and not just a sector or salient in this war,

Must Be United

The story of the economic mobilization of Canada is the story of an
entire nation bracing itself to carry the greatest load it ever tried to
carry. A load involving as great an effort as the very opening up of the
country and the construction of the first canals, the first highways and
the first trans-continental railway system,

Canada is tooled up to handle, in the next 12

pulp and paper industry of Canada, the world’s largest producer of news- |

war “potential” only to find that we have to do even better than a measured
maximum,

To-day, the controllers of our war economy must try to make seem-
ingly inadequate resources stretch over a vast area. There aren't enough
men; there's not enough steel, oil, rubber, silk, copper or food, not enough

Women Accomplish Miracles

Thousands Of Articles Of Clothing
Made By Women Of Canada
(By Gregory Clark)
| Seven hundred and fifty thousand
| articles of women’s and children’s
clothing have been made by Canada’s
| women and shipped to Britain, and
distributed. Eighty thousand blan-
| kets and quilts. Bandages, surgical

and first aid dressings by the mil-|

lions, all made by these same Cana-
dian women who take a dollar, buy

the raw material and make two dol-|

lars worth of the goods of mercy
out of it.
Each of the twelve home defence

jteen provided by the Canadian Red
|Cross and ready to leave at an in-
|stant’s notice for the scene of a
| bombing, cooking the food and pre-
paring the tea as it goes. One hun-
dred and fifty ambulances have been
bought and paid for by Red Cross
branches and are in use to-day in
the rescue of civilian bomb victims.
That number does not include 40
additional ambulances supplied to
our Canadian troops overseas.

| In May, the Canadian Red Cross
| organized a special fund to support
the work amongst the bomb victims.
It is called the Red Cross British
Bomb Victims’ Fund. Every cent
contributed to that fund goes to the
purchase of materials that will be
|made up by the women of Canada
into garments for women and chil-
dren, air raid shelter cloaks and
baby layettes, maternity garments
for women, and equipment, first aid
and medical supplies. Every dollar
given to that fund becomes two dol-
lars worth of actual goods deliver-
ed. None of this fund will go as
money to Britain. It will go as
goods made by the skilled hands of
|Canada’s million Red Cross volun-
teer workers. Regardless of what

undertakings amongst our soldiers
and sailors, or in its far-flung work
in Canada amongst pioneer settle-
ments, it is suggested that a gift to
the Red Cross British Bomb Vic-
tims’ Fund will be a_ particularly
blessed donation to enable the wo-
men of Canada to rush every kind
of aid over to Britain before another
winter and its perils comes.

By a wonderful series of mis-
chances and redirections, these wo-
men were successful in having in
Britain a vast store of goods even
at the start of this blackest year in
human history which was last Sep-
tember when the Battle of Britain
began. With the aid of the Red
Cross British Bomb Victims’ Fund,
they will repeat that miracle for
Britain.

Labor Training Programs

Shortage Of Labor To Man Busy
War Factories Is Seen

Canada, dipping deep into her re-
serves of labor to man increasingly
busy factories, has also extended
labor training programs to an ex-
tent unknown in the past, Labor De-
partment officials said.

War emergency training program
| reports that 33,003 persons’ took
training from April 1 to August 30.
The 93 schools and training centres

reported 10,063 were actually in
training on August 1.
Large numbers of those in the

lower age groups of-the classes are
; young men who have been rejected
for enlistment. Selection officers
have instructions to avoid admitting
to classes men of military age ex-
cept those rejected.

In the industrial classes, discharged
soldiers of the present war are re-|
ceiving training alongside veterans
of the First Great War. In the ex-
soldier category, 1,050 men were be-
ing trained in the April 1 to August!
30 period, and of these 48 were be-|
tween 16 and 19 years; 327 from 20]
{to 29; 148 from 30 to 39; 368 from
40 to 49 and 126 from 50 years up-
|ward. The total included 33 trainees |
{whose ages were still to be sub-|
| mitted.
| Of the total of 10,719 new trainees
of all types enrolled between April
1 and August 30, the largest group,
|3,972, was in the 20 to 29 years age |
class.
| Officials said that during August}
new trainees entering the classes |
numbered 4 365 of whom, 1,415 were
enrolled in industrial training
courses, 1,322 joined Royal Canadian)
| Air Force classes and 1,628 were re-
ferred to the schools by the army
jand navy for trade training.
| From the classes, 1,598 were
placed in employment in August, 434
|who had completed their training in|
R.C.A.F. classes enlisted and 34 from |
the industrial classes enlisted in
other units. Army and navy person-
|nel who completed their training in
| August numbered 1,260.
| Officials said that booming labor |
requirements indicated ordinary re-|
serves would soon be exhausted and |
other sources would have to be ex-|
jamined. They said that in non-agri- |
/cultural employment figures for all |
|Canada showed a jump of 26.3 per
cent. between April, 1940, and April, |
| 1941.

‘ures showed that while a reserve of

| istration of August, 1940, showed)
32,000 males and 459,000 females had |
|never worked, but officials said this
| total had been reduced since that
time.

For Longer Life

|Medical Authority Thinks Man Can}
Be Made To Live 200 Or
300 Years
Dr. Maurice Ernest, 69, one of the
| world’s greatest authorities on
|longevity, said that he would estab-
lish after the war a_ laboratory |
|where he can develop his theories |
that man can be made to live 200}
or 300 years.
| Many discoveries that point the)
|way to periodical rejuvenation with- |
out surgery already have been made, |
he said, and in this respect, the hu-|
man race might take a hint from |
the fish. |

“One of the many causes of aging |
is that man produces too much in-
ternal heat,” he said. “Fish, which
have the same temperature as the}
water in which they live, never grow |
old in the sense that their flesh be-
‘comes tough. |

Although he did not suggest that |
humans seek some way to live in
water, he said:

“A cook sometimes complains that
a fowl is tough, but whoever heard |
one complain of a tough fish,” |

Dr. Ernest is a former newspaper- |
man who covered London for num-
erous Austrian, Swedish and Ameri-
can papers at the turn of the cen~
tury. He also assisted the late
Conan Doyle fn espionage during the
Boer War, but gave up journalism
to return to medical practice.
| He founded the Centenarian Club
lin 1928 “to inspire men and women
| with the desire to live on as able-
| bodied, clear-minded Marians (Chris-
tians) and investigate the means by
which this may be achieved.”

Dr. Ernest said over 200 centen-
larians all over the world had been
admitted to honorary membership,
“put unfortunately, they do not re-
tain their membgrship long.”

Airmen Are Good Cooks
Twenty-Second Class Graduates In
Special Course At Guelph

Seven of the Canadian provinces,
England and Scotland, were repre-
sented’ in the class of airmen who
graduated from the Royal Canadian
Air Force School of Cookery, at-
tached to the No. 4 Wireless School,
at Ontario Agricultural College,
Guelph.

The group is the twenty-second
class to graduate from the special
short course since it was instituted
about two years ago, and is the
third class to be officially gradu-
ated with fitting ceremony.

The men were recommended for
graduation by Flight Lieutenant Dr.
H. D. Branion, one-time head of the
and
and now in charge of the air force
cooking school. Praise for their
work and achievements, was given
by Wing Commander A. H. Keith
Russell, officer commanding the local
wireless school, who presented the
diplomas. He stressed the import-
ance of the cook in effectiveness of
air activities. The class was pre-
sented by Flight Lieutenant W. M.
Thomson, M.C., D.F.C., adjutant of
the wireless school.

Money Easily Earned
Man Made A Particularly Good
Bargain With Hunter
Richard Brinsley Sheridan, the
famous English playwright, after
hunting all day without success, was
returning to his home when he no-
ticed a flock of ducks resting on a
pond. A man seated on the shore
was watching the birds, and Sheri-
dan asked him: “What will you take
for a shot at the ducks?” The man
looked up at him thoughtfully. “I
think a sovereign will do,” he fin-
ally said. Sheridan paid him the
money. Then, taking aim, he fired
into the middle of the flock, killing
quite a number. Joyfully he turned
to the man. “I'm afraid you made a
bad bargain,” he laughed. “Oh, I
don’t know,” replied the other.

“Theyre not my ducks.”

“My word this tastes good,” said
the old lady, drinking a glass of
beer for the first time. “It’s just
like the medicine my husband has
been taking for the last 40 years.”

Famous Geographer Says
That Some Future Day The
Prairies Will Be Well Treed

In a few thousand years what is
now bare prairie will be dense for-
est, Dr. Griffith Taylor, Professor of |
Geography in the University of To-
ronto, predicted, looking over the
Canadian scene.

Dr. Taylor, who occupies the only
chair of Geography in any univers-
ity in Canada, spent the last few
months acquiring firsthand knowl-
edge of the Canadian picture.

“I need not stress the necessity
for young Canadians to learn some-
thing of the relation between the
resources and present and future
settlement in the Dominion,” says!
the famous geographer, who Is presi-|
dent of the Association of America
Geographers, and whose many
travels and adventures’ included a
visit to the Antarctic with Scott.

“It was sheer delight to find a!
spot of jungle in the midst of the
prairies,” he said, referring to the
reforestation project at Indian Head.
“Here they have gnticipated Nature.
Not so long ago the prairies were!
covered with ice and the climate|
was against tree growth. But at |
Indian Head, where all was bare as
lately as 36 years ago, they planted
cottonwood and evergreens and the
director's house is set in a veritable
junglewood. Of course, they corseted
the saplings to protect them and
give them a start.

“The prairies should be looking to
Siberia for ideas. The climate in|
Siberia is very similar and what can!
be grown there can be grown on|
the prairies. Among the plants
brought over during the last 30 years
from Siberia is the Caragana hedge
plant. It is the best hedge and
shelter plant and every farm can
have a belt of it 20 feet high,” Dr.
Taylor added. “Siberian clovers, it is
also found, grow eceedingly well on)
the prairies. Here you have a case)
of agriculturists doing what the!
geographers are preaching—study- |
ing home of similar climes. North-|
ern Australia, for: example,

should
study Nigeria to ascertain what will
best grow in that part of Australia.”

The prime purpose of Dr. Taylor's |
visit to the West was to study the.
anatomy of Canadian towns. “We|
are. working backwards and attempt- |
‘ing to discover what has determined |
the growth and structure, in the!
hope that we may help the town-|
planners of the future,’ he explain- |
ed. “It was a real joy to come|
across a town like Prince Rupert
which was planned from the begin-
ning and laid out in decent design. |
It is all knobs and hills and it has,
been laid oyt in three units. Here!
they have gotten rid of the infernal,
chessboard pattern and they will not,
have to build costly viaducts, like
those in Toronto, to relieve traffic,
congestion. Prince Rupert has a
population of only six or seven)
thousand but at present it is solid
with newcomers. There are three)
thousand of them who have gone}
there for home defence and you can)
not get a bed. It is one hundred miles |
nearer to Yokohama than Van-|
couver and some day it will be a
thriving centre.” |
The spot that most intrigued him, |
he said, was Prince George in Bri-|
tish Columbia, “Here is a tract of,
one milion acres in many ways simi- |
lar to the clay belt of Northern On-
tario,” reported Dr. Taylor. ‘True, |
it is not as rich but I had to be’
driven 25 miles to be shown a piece
of rock, ‘There are several thous-
and people there now. But, although |

jacy, in soil surveys, in social plan-

| service,

some three thousand feet high with
lakes nestling in between. The rall-
way, instead of passing through a
series of tunnels, ascends and
descends the ridges doing about 20
miles in three hours. This is a route
which might well be developed and
publicized as a tourist attraction,”
Dr. Taylor believes.

Dr. Taylor hopes that matricula-
tion geography will be taught in the
high schools of Ontario within a few
years. One of the main purposes of
his department, he says, is to pro-
vide for a better teaching of geog-
raphy in the schools.

“There is a vast need for more
teachers trained in geography,” he
states. ‘Toronto is the only uni-
versity in Canada with an independ-
ent department, though valuable lec-
tures are given at Vancouver, Lon-
don, Hamilton, Kingston, and Mont-
real. Judging by British and Ameri-
can experience and* populations, we
should have some 40 full-time uni-
versity teachers in this country in-
stead of five or six.

“Only in a few ultra-conservative
countries like Canada is geography
crowded out of the curriculum by
classics. How can an _ imperfect
knowledge of Latin and Greek help
our youth to meet the problems of
this rapidly contracting world? It
seems to me that no subject should
be as helpful as modern geography
in this connection.”

Not only is there a need for teach-
ers of geography but the Dominion
Civil Service could use geographers
as is done on a large scale in Eng-
land and the United States, Dr. Tay-
lor says. Geographers are needed,
he points out, in statistics, in diplom-

in the weather
and in certain branches of |
In the military field, a!
knowledge of the principles determ-
ing the various topographies, land
and water routes, distribution of oil,
iron, et cetera, is of major import-
nce.

The Department of Natural Re-
sources is doing a very valuable ser-
vice, Dr. Taylor emphasizes, in its
production of maps. “These maps are
way ahead of anything they have in
Australia,” sfiys the | geographer,
himself an Australian and for many
years on the staff of the University
of Sydney.

Facing The Truth

‘If The Nazis Win, It Will Be The
| End Of Civilization

| We should think of what is tak-
ing place to-day, not as a war for
power but as a great counter-revolu-
tion against our culture. In the Nazi

lust for destruction the sickness |
within our world has come to an
ugly head. The policy of words

without deeds, the fear of facing the
bold simple truth, has weakened us
to such an extent that this disease
could arise. If the Nazis win we
shall not have a new order instead
of the old; we shall have no order
at all. If the Nazis win we shall
descend into the long night which
follows the death of every great
civilization. What is happening, I
suggest, is not a war in any ordi-
nary sense. What is happening is
|the disintegration of our world, the
counter-revolution against our world.
|The counter-revolution goes for-
|ward in many countries where there
jis no war, as in parts of South
; America. In this dire world of to-
|day war is almost a healthy sign,
| because war means that someone is

SIN AND ITS CONSEQUENCES

:7, 8; James 1:18-15; I. John 1:5,

Devotional Reading: Psalm 51:1-13.

Explanations and Comments

We Reap What We Sow, Galatians
6:7, 8. Be not deceived, God is not
mocked, as they who expect to es-
Cape the consequences of their ac-
tions seem to think they can mock
him. God's law of the spiritual
harvest is that whatsoever a man
sows that shall he also reap. We
usually think of this as referring to
retribution for wrong-doing, and so
it does, but the happier meaning is
also true that “he who sows wheat
reaps wheat, not tares.” Verse eight
is a particular example coming un-
der the general truth expressed in
verse seven. “The fiesh’” is here
thought of as the evil nature. “The
|punishments which God’ inflicts are
jnatural punishments. They grow
out of the wrongs that men com-
mit. As the plaht grows out of the
seed, as the man grows out of the
child, so do punishments which God
imposes come out of the sins that
men have done” (John Byles).
|_ What God Is and What We Should
|Be, 1 John 1:5, 6. The message
which John had_ received from
|Christ (see verses 1-3) and which he
now hands on, is that God is light,
and in him is no darkness (moral!
|darkness, i.e. sin) at all. “Light, as
here contrasted with darkness,
|means ethical perfection. It de-
scribes the absolute purity and holi-
;ness of God as he has been revealed
jin Christ.” (A. S. Peake).

It is not possible to live in sin and
enjoy the fellowship of God, John
next declares. ‘‘Walk’’ here in verse
six is a familiar figure of speech for |
one’s customary conduct. Not ‘‘do-
ing the truth” means not living in
harmony with the demands of truth:
“The life as well as the statements
of the lips is false.”

“A life in moral darkness can no
more have communion with God, |
than a life in a coal-pit can have!
communion with the sun.” (A.
Plummer).

What Soldiers Eat

According To A Report From Bri-
| tain They Eat More And Drink

To-day's soldiers don’t like beer.
| They prefer sweet things of all
| kinds. And they don’t care much for
| community singing. They would
| rather read. |

They're not at all like the men of |
1914, according to a survey of con-
ditions in the camps, conducted by
| the British military, naval and air
| forces canteens departments,
| Last war 98 per cent. of the total
|sales at the army canteens was for
beer. To-day, only five per cent. of
the turnover in the canteens is in
beer.

In the World War, soldiers liked
tasty bits—to-day they prefer sweet
cake, cream buns, chocolates.

Indian soldiers have the sweetest
tooth of all.

jcan coffee and cheese croquettes.

Sailors like sweets, too. And the
|men of the Royal Navy ask for so
much lime juice and soda _ that
special soda fountains are being in-
| stalled on some warships.

According to Dr. J. P. S. Cathcart,
a noted neuropsychiatrist, Canada’s |
fighting men of 1940 drink less than
| the soldiers of 1914-18 but they eat
more, It seems that they have con-|
tracted a disease known as “the.
snack habit,” and the amount of}
| chocolate doughnuts and pea-|
nuts they make away with is posi-
tively amazing. In addition to pos- |
| 8essing enormous appetites for sweets
the fellows have a remarkable
capacity for “guzzling” soft drinks
between meals. The doctor says that
often when a man is sick the cause
of the trouble can be traced back to
the canteen, and from what he’s |
been eating “you'd think he was a)
small boy with a dollar at the cir- |
| cus,” |

“Snacking,” while it seems to be
a very infectious disease, does not |
appear to destroy the men’s appe-|
tites at meal times. When the din- |

TOPICS
of

VITAL
INTEREST

HEALTH OF CANADA

“The health of Canada’s manhood
is such an important factor in our
war effort, it may be the determin-
ing factor whether we win or lose,”
declared Dr. James J. McCann, of
Ottawa, chairman of the Parlia-
mentary Health Committee, speak-
ing recently to an audience of wo-
men in Toronto.

To win, Dr. McCann declared, we
must be strong, morally, mentally
and physically. ‘It is not enough
to have the will to win nor to be
financially strong, or to have all the
instruments of war, unless we have
men and women in good health to
work on the home front.”

Why were 12,000 men who offered
their services to their country re-
jected because they were physically
unfit, Dr. McCann asked. ‘Probably
with old heart or ‘kidney lesions, the
result of diphtheria or scarlet fever
or measles, or ocular defects or
stomach ulcers that either were pre-
ventable or could have been cured
had early treatment been available.”

Dr. McCann urged that every
Canadian soldier be immediately
toxoided against diptheria. As for
industrial workers on the home
front, he urged that their hours of
work be not too long, their working
conditions should be good, and their
nutrition up to standard.

Canada has 50,000 idle workers on
the industrial front every day of the
year through sickness, he went on.
Instead of 50,000 health workers in
Canada there ought to be half a mil-

| lion of them, Dr. McCann declared.

In conclusion Dr. McCann advo-
cated a national health crusade,
subsidizing of full-time health ser-
vices, medical care of the under-
privileged, federal grants to aid
provinces, and larger grants to vol-
untary bodies engaged in health
work.

His Legal Opinion

What One Lawyer Thought
Charge Made By Associate
E. E. Edgarrtells this story in the
Chicago Daily News: When Senator
Roscoe Conkling was a young
lawyer, he once defended a man who
was charged with committing arson.
Conkling worked very hard on the
case, but lost after a bitter fight.
When he tried to collect his fee, the
man refused to pay, claiming that it
was exorbitant. .
“That man provokes me,” Conk-
ling told a fellow attorney. “I
never had a client who questioned
I spent a lot of time
on him, He was convicted, yes, but
I worked hard for him. I fought
his case through the lower courts,
appealed the decision, and even took
it to the Supreme Court, where he
was finally given ten years. And
just because I charge $3,000 for my
services, he grumbles. Now I ask
you, was that too high a fee for such
a case?”
“Well,” said his associate, “there
is no doubt that you did a great deal
of work, and I don’t think $3,000 an

of

| excessive fee, but it is my considered

opinion that he could have been con-
victed for less money.”

Some folks wonder why they don’t
get on, when all they’re trying to do
is get by.

ARE PLANNING TO
SEND QUICK AlD TO
~ BOLSTER RUSSIA

London.—Britain and the United
States are working at top speed to
offset Britain’s inability to help
Russia by. attacking Germany in the
west, despatches from London and
Washington reveal.

The plan is to pour military ald
other supplies into Russia and !to do|
it fast. Aside from Russia's urgent
immediate needs, the plan looks for-
ward to Russia's future struggle. It
is based on the premise that even if
Leningrad, Moscow and the remain-
der of the Ukraine fall, Russia will
continue to fight into next year. It
does not concede that they will fall, |
however, and the supplies how .en|
route ‘or ready for shipment, it is)
hoped, will aid the defence of those
threatened centres.

The transportation problem is the
most difficult, and it is being attack- |
ed with energy. The shortest supply
routes are through Iran in the south |
and Archangel in the north. Wash-
ington has decided to abandon the|
long trans-Pacific route through
Vladivostok and Siberia as far as
United States shipments are con-

cerned. Archangel will be used in-|
stead.
Archangel is normally ice-bound |

by the end of October but ice break- |
ers can certainly keep it open until |
mid-January and perhaps through
the winter. The port is connected
by rail with Moscow, 550 miles away.
At Vologda it connects with the
Trans-Siberian westward to Lenin-
grad and eastward to the area he-
yond Moscow,:-should the Russians
have to retreat from there.

Even more important than Arch-
angel is the Iran route. Britain and
the United States have agreed to col-
laborate in increasing the capacity
of the railroad across Iran and to
furnish great quantities of rolling

stock. Technical missions will be
sent to Iran and Egypt by the
United States to strengthen this

route, as well as being sent to Rus-
sia.

Supplies for Russia via Iran
come by sea to Bandhur Shapur on
the Persian gulf. From there the
railroad runs 866 miles to Bandar
Shah at the southeastern extrem'ty
of the Caspian sea, Thence the sup-
plies are ferried 500 miles across the
Caspian to Baku, the oil port in the
Russian Caucasus, From Baku rail
communications are good into Rus-
sia proper.

This route would be absolutely
vital if the Germans get far enough
east to open up a Caucasian front.
If for any reason Baku is cut off
from the remainder of Russia, sup-'
plies can be shipped 800 miles over
the Caspian to Asfrakhan, on the
north shore of the sea.

The Iranian route has been in use
for some time, and heavy shipments
have been cleared into Russia. For
aerial supplies, it is supplemented by
the South Atlantic ferry route to
Africa.

It was revealed in London that
locomotives and railway carriages
already are being delivered by Bri-
tain to Russia. The United States
has been asked to provide 200 loco-
motives and 4,500 freight cars,
mostly for use in Iran.

Supply Of Eggs

A Mild Winter On Prairies Would
Increase Production
Ottawa,.-A__ mild winter
prairies will mean a great deal in
facilitating the supply of Canadian
eggs to the United Kingdom, agri-
culture department officials said.

Initial steps to increase the supply
of eggs for export have worked out
well, officials said. Their reports in-
dicated that many poultry owners
increased flocks last spring and that
the young birds will be laying in
December, with the prospect that a
surplus of eggs will be available for
shipment.

“An element of uncertainty is the |
weather in the prairie provinces dur-
ing the winter months,” an official |
said, “If the winter is mild, the in-|
crease in egg production should be,
Substantial; if it is severe, the gain |
in output will be less than we,
hoped.” |

Are Ready To Go ISSUES REPORT

Canadian Fighter Pilots In England
Anxious To See Action

Somewhere in England. — Willing
to serve anywhere from Russia to
the Middle East, Canadian fighter
pilots and bomber crews recently
arrived from the Dominion are hav-
ing their last real holiday before go-
ing on operations,

Scores of these young Canadians,
trained under the British Common-
wealth air training plan, are at the
personal reception centre in an Eng-
lish coastal town where airmen from
overseas wait for their posting
orders.

For most, the delay is only a few
weeks, but for some it is more than
a month, and despite the attractions
the town offers, fine billets in hotels,
sea bathing from a sandy beach, and
the absence of drills, all will be
happy when the life of loafing ends |
and word comes to proceed to a
station.

“I've had enough waiting already,”
said Sgt. Pilot Eric Macintosh of
Port Morien, N.S., less than a week
after he arrived from Canada. ‘I
came over here to fly and the sooner
T can take a Spitfire or Hurricane in-
to the air the better I'll like it.”

Macintosh expected to get into
action three months ago, but an at-|
tack of appendicitis last July sent
him to hospital a few hours after he
received his draft to come overseas.
Now that he is here he wants to
make up for lost time.

Most of the Canadians will be
posted to Royal Canadian Air Force,
squadrons in Great Britain, but if
they were asked to go to Russia or
the Middle East they would jump at
the chance.

Said Sgt. Herb Butcher of Na-
panee, Ont.: “Now that we’ve come |
see as|
much of the world as we can before
we go home.”

The pilots have their own ideas
about the type of planes they want
to fly but for the most part they'll
be satisfied with any machine pro-
vided it takes them off the ground.

PO. Harry Bennett of Vancouver
was so anxious to fly that although
he had worked his way up to the
rank of flight lieutenant on the ad-
min’strative side of the R.C.A.F., he
resigned his commission where he
couldn't get into thé air and re-en-
listed as an aircraftman second
class.

He started from the bottom again
and the proudest day of his life was
when he received his wings, qualify-
ing him to be a pilot.

Sgts. George Jewell of Montreal
and Jim McGrath of Edmonton, both
wireless air gunners, want to get on
big bombers, while Sgt. Jerry Mc-
Phee of Vancouver, an air gunner,
has applied for posting to a night|
fighter squadron.

“And I don't eat carrots,” he said. |

Study Taxation

Increase In Sales Tax Is|
Now Likely |
Ottawa. — The government's new |
price and wage stabilization policy}
may have important influences on|
the trend of future taxes, it was
suggested in government circles,

If prices and wages are to be held
at present levels the tax increases
regarded as certain to come in the
next budget may be so designed as
not to influence prices and costs of
production to a greater degree than
necessary, it was said,

The principal tax which contri- |
butes directly to the cost of goods is
the eight per cent. sales tax. In dis- |
cussion on the last budget in the |
House of Commons Finance Minister |
Ilsley indicated the government had
considered increasing that tax to 10
per cent, but decided against the in- |
crease because it did not wish to)
encourage an upward price mover |
ment,

With governmental policy now set
even more firmly against price in-
creases it is considered“unlikely that
any increase in the sales tax will be
proposed for next year.

To conform with the general aim
of stabilizing prices at present levels
the taxing experts may be expected
to recommend increase in direct
national
tax, the income tax and the corpor-

ae

direct taxes such as the sales tax,
the customs tariff and the various
excise duties levied on particular,
products, |
Indirect taxes are those which are |
usually passed on by the taxpayer
to some other person in the form of
higher charges for goods or services.
Direct taxes are those which hit one
taxpayer and stay with him,

ON R. A. F, RAIDS

London.—The air ministry and the

ers’ latest raids over Germany, issued |

BRITISH TAKE OVER OIL PLANT

Indian riflemen enter the main gates of the Anglo-Iranian Oil Co, plant
at the head of the Persian Gulf on the River Shatt Al Arab, in Iran. The
personnel, mostly British, witnessed the troop movement, and were on
hand to welcome the British Empire troops. Meanwhile Russian troops
moved in from the north and the ancient kingdom was soon jointly held.
The oil plant here was functioning as usual within a few hours after the
troops took over.

BRITAIN HAS
BECOME A MECCA

FOR REFUGEES

Press

London.—Britain, one of freedom’s
last old world sanctuaries, has be-
come a mecca for people of European
countries suffering under the weight
of the Nazi boot.

Ina constantly increasing stream,
|refugees from Holland, Norway,
France and Belgium are finding their
way to the shores of Britain. Bri-
tons, caught in occupied countries,
| have also made good their escape.

French refugees bring with them
stories of increasing unrest in
| France. The return to London from

Gaulle, leader of the Free French
| forces, was the signal for a burst of
| appreciation of the true France from

British people who have recently
reached home.

| Correspondence received at the
| headquarters of Free France, par-
ticularly from refugee English wo-
men, tells of constant kindness to

stranded Britons, hatred of the com-
mon foe, disgust with the devious
ways of Vichy, and almost universal
belief in a British victory.

A Manchester girl who escaped
from Brussels to France, only to be
hounded far south by the invaders,
described how at a frontier station,
two old women pressed a gold cross

of Lorraine, the emblem of Free
France, into her hand, murmuring,
“Tell Gen. de Gaulle, tell England,

we are counting on them,”

Stories of refugee escapes are be-
coming legion.

One of the most dramatic was told
by a 70-year-old English woman, the
wife of a Belgian business man, who
reached England after a 70-hour
voyage from the Belgian coast in an
eight-foot rowboat with an outboard

motor. She was accompanied by her
20-year-old son and three Belgian
men,

The Right Names

Soldier, Sallor And Marine Describes
The Three Services

There are no better words in the
English language than “soldier,”
“sailor,” and “marine.” To call a

soldier, sailor or marine anything
else is an affront to good English,

;even if the man described has no

objection. Lets shelve these syn-
thetic prissy words like ‘“selectee”
and “serviceman.” The latter, by
the way, has a faint trace of snob-
bery.

There's another that might as

of military history, the word “con-

same was true of the conscripts of

But after all, “soldier,” “sailor”
and “marine” are all the words we
need, and that they are the right
words is proved by the fact that sol-

Sombre Picture

The Food Shortage In Unhappy
Greece Becoming Worse Daily
(By a Special Correspondent)

Sympathetic neutral witnesses who
left Athens a month ago give a
sombre picture of the Greek capital.
The vivacious, elegant city wears
how a lugubrious aspect. One sees
Athens in a present condition of
gloom, dilapidation and depression.

As soon as the Germans arrived
they enforced the evacuation of all
the wounded soldiers from the
Athenian hospitals in order to make
room for their own wounded. The
streets of Athens are now full of
wounded Greek soldiers gtill band-
aged and often begging bread.

The horrors of the German occu-
pation are aggravated by the humil-
jation felt by the Greeks in seeing
defeated Italians replacing German
troops. The former show an arro-
gant attitude, although they en-

deavour to show themselves more
humane than the latter.
Looting by the Germans, either

openly or by means of spurious
marks, was so complete that it left
very little for their successors. More-
over, the Gestapo remains the su-
preme master and its exertions are
the same as in every other German-
occupied country. Some _ well-edu-
cated and cultured Greeks felt the
German tyranny so cruelly that they
have committed suicide.

The food situation becomes daily
worse and worse. Communications
remain in their chaotic condition.
The bridge across the Corinth Canal,
destroyed during the campaign, has
now been replaced by a temporary
wooden bridge, which, however, is
such a weak structure that only the
smallest locomotives with one or
two carriages may pass across it.

Railway communications beyond
the pass of Thermopylae continue to
be disrupted. Thus, when the In-
ternational Red Cross decided to
send supplies of concentrated food
extracts for the use of the wounded
of all armies in Greece, they were
forced to send them by air mail, as
they were unable to do so by rail.

The port of Piraeus and the dis-
tricts around have been heavily dam-
aged by the explosion in the middle
of the port of a ship loaded with
munitions. It was caused by a Ger-
man raid last April. There was no
direct hit on the ship, but on some
barges loaded with oil, from which
the resulting fire spread to the
munitions ship.

When the Germans occupied Ath-

ens they compelled many Greek
shipowners living in Greece, al-
though their ships were trading

abroad, to telegraph their agents in
America and elsewhere to withdraw
their ships from the Allied service.
These telegrams were communicated
to the Greek agents in New York by
the German Consul General, through
whom they were addressed to them.
The Greek agents, of course, re-
fused to comply with these "evidently
enemy-dictated orders. The Gestapo
thereupon turned its wrath against
the shipowners in Athens and com-
pelled them to work in Piraeus to
clean up the wreckage, demolish
wrecked buildings, and sweep up the
streets. Such men, old or young,
not used to this work, were all in-
cluded in this cruel, typically Ger-

man order, which is still being
applied by the Italians.

Panzer Divisions
The Name Used For German

Armored Divisions

Two requests about Panzer reach
me from different quarters. One is
to say what it means; the other is
to get the term dropped in favor of
good plain English. Well, Panzer
means armor, and since the German
armored divisions have been more
conspicuous than any other down to
the invasion of Russia, we hav@
adopted the German name for the:
much as we habitually speak of thd
Luftwaffe instead of the German
Air

Force or U-boats (Untersee-
boote) instead of German = sub-
marines.

As to getting the word dropped,
that seems to me a matter of indif-
ference, If Panzer divisions are un-
derstood to be German armored
divisions—not Russian or British, or
any other—-the term has its utility.
It enables a two-word description to
be used instead of a _ three-word,
which is all to the good.—London
Spectator.

Raised Grain Crop
The first agricultural process car-
ried on by Europeans in what is now
Canada probably was the raising of

CHAPTER XXX.

The tiny hands on Devona’s own
watch pointed at five minutes past
2 when Macias finally turned off the
main gboulevard into a quieter
street, swung into a curving drive.
The Louis Quatorze! Devona recog-
nized it instantly.

Macias still didn’t speak “as the
velvet-lined elevator carried them
up to his elaborate suite. Not until
he'd closed the door, dismissed the!
houseboy, did he turn toward her, fix
her with the black, smiling cruelty
of those dark eyes.

Calmly he tapped the white shoe
box he carried under his arm. “I'll
put this away first, Dona, my darl-
ing. Nasty stuff—Heroin. I don't
think you'd like it.”

Mute, she watched him cross the
long drawing room to the blotchy
oil painting of the Monterey pines.
Touching the heavy gold frame at
the corner, he slid back the picture,
revealing the efficient little wall
safe.

Shuddering, she turned her back
to the Monterey pines.

“Cold?” Macias’ voice taunted her.
“T'll mix a drink.”

“No, thanks.”

“Come, sit down.” He indicated
one of the matching chairs flanking |
the huge fireplace. ‘‘We have lots to
chat about, you and I.”

Obediently, she dropped into the
thick-cushioned chair, watched him
take a cork coaster from a _ small
drawer in the mahagony lamp table,
set the sweating high-ball glass on
it meticulously.

Grimly, she notched her chin high, |
met his eyes steadily. |

“Now, my darling, suppose you
tell me why you so thoughtfully
went on that little errand for me?”

Alert, Devona played for time.
“Just—for fun.”

“Pretty dangerous
it 7?

She shrugged, “Maybe.”

“Of course it had nothing to do |
with young Brasher?” he said,!
smiling as he drained his glass,

“It would have—if I’d_ gotten!
away with it,” she admitted cooly,
amazed that the terror inside didn’t
show in her voice. |

He nodded. “Yés, I thought so. |
Too bad you didn’t get away with!
it, too. Young Brasher is going to
need help.” |

Devona felt her cheeks blanch but |
she kept her voice steady. “Really? |
You've been so — co-operative — al-
ready, too, haven't you?”

“Yes. Until just recently, I've
been able to give Brasher advice
that has kept him out of danger
very nicely.” He smiled wickedly. |
“But now—since he has been disre-
garding my suggestions———” He let
that drift off into a sinister little
silence,

~—shall we say—help young Brasher
to retire.”

By marshaling every shred of
self-control of which she was cap-
able, she didn’t let a flicker of emo-
tion show in her face. “Nothing.
Mr. Brasher didn't even know I sus-
pected anything.”

“No? Really, now, Dona.” He
smiled, poured himself another
brandy. “You don’t expect me to be-
lieve that.’

“Why not? It happens to be the

truth.”

He just looked at her over the
rim of his glass. “You are a beau-
tiful little liar, Dona. But———” he
shrugged, “—we'll change all that.
How long since you have suspected
that I managed this little—enter-
prise?”

“Oh—I don’t remember.”

“And——"” the laugh was gone
now, “how many people’ have you
told?” s

“None. I wanted to figure things
out for myself.”

“I see’—skeptically. “You're a
cool little customer. Have you fig-
ured out what will happen now?”

“No " aowry little smile.
think I can leave that up to you.”

He scowled. “What, exactly, does
Dale Brasher mean to you?”

“Nothing,” and kept her fingers
crossed.

“How would you like to play the
game my way?”

She toyed idly with the strap of
her handbag and stalled, ‘“Mean-
ing: iad

“Meaning that you'll have a chance
to make yourself some nice change.
I could use a lovely woman very
nicely—a lovely woman with daring
and brain and—the right attitude.”

“y

She smiled. “Thanks, mister, for
the compliments.”
“Besides——” deliberately, he fill-

ed his glass again, “it wouldn’t be
healthy for you to go on meddling in
matters you don’t understand.”
“Maybe if you—explained——”
Slowly he put down his glass,
leaned toward her. “A smart girl
like you ought to be able to guess.”
Macias came to stand just behind
her, the sound of his heavy breath-
ing, the touch of his hands on her
arms made her shudder involuntar-
ily as he turned her toward him.

“Going to be sensible, sweetheart,
and listen to reason?” he asked, his
eyes already sure of her. “I can
make things pretty sweet for you—
if you'll just play along with me.”

Trying not to let her repulsion
show, she cocked an eyebrow im-
pudently. “And—if I don’t——”

His fingers tightened on her arm.
“You will. You like this place. You
like nice things. You'll like it here
much better than the place — I’d
have to send you. Just to keep you
out of danger, of course.” ;

Of course. Devona’s heart ham-
mered like a piston. “I see.”

Behind them a closet door opened
suddenly and some one laughed—a
shrill, hysterical sound that was
mirthless and horrible.

Startled, Macias released Devona.
They both turned to face a_ slim,
fair-haired girl—and the muzzle of
a grim little pistol.

It was the girl who'd come to the
El Mexicano that evening, Devona
recognized now. Freda Camp. One
of Macias’ castoffs.

“Freda! How the hell did you get
in here?” Macias took one step to-
ward her, but she waved him back,

“Just stay where you are, dearie.
I want to get a good look at you be-
fore I send you where you belong.”

“Listen, Freda. You can't pull
this stuff. You--—’ Macias blus-
tered.

“Can't I? And why not? You

need killing, you know.”

“Maybe I do—-——” calmly enough,
“But what good will that do you?
The cops will catch up with you
and at

“Oh, no they won't, dearie. Be-
cause this time I'm going right
along with you-—-via the next bullet.
The cops and the newsboys will have
a lot of fun with the story.” She
smiled calmly at Devona. “Maybe
they'll even think this dame did the
job. No witnesses. Motive—jeal-
ousy. Make good headlines, any-
way, won't we, Jose?”

Devona felt him stiffen,
calmly for a cigarette.

“Well—" he began, calmly, but his
eyes never left the girl's face. “—go
ahead. If you've
mind——"

He struck a match, touched the
flickering flame to the cigarette,
and then, as if by accident, flicked it
directly toward the girl's face.

Only a moment's distraction, but
enough. A moment
leaped to her side, wrenched the little
pistol from her hand,

her easily.

“Damn you! Damn you! Give me
that!” she cried hysterically, and
then burst into tears.

Devona heard her own breath re-

lease itself in a little scream as she
sagged into a chair.

“Oh, no.” Macias pointed
little gun at her now. “Just. sit
where you are until you get back
your senses—if you have any. You
blundering little fool.”

His swarthy face flushed purple
with anger now. Devona clung des-
perately to the chair arms, terribly
sorry, in the midst of her own ter-
rors, for the pitiful creature hud-
dled in the corner of the big sofa.
Macias was furious. Part of it prob-
ably the reaction of his own startled
fright. Part of it, his wrath at be-
ing taken by surprise. Ego-ridden,
he’d want to run all of the show.
The girl had succeeded in surprising

him, holding him—even for a min-|

ute—at her mercy. She'd pay for
that.

“I've told you to beat it,” he
raged. “I even gave you the dough

to beat it out of the state.
didn’t you go?”

“I—I couldn’t. I wanted to——”

“The hell with what you wanted.
Think I’m going to have you hang-
ing around here when every cop in
town has you spotted for a hop-
head?

“And whose fault is that, I'd like
to know?” she screamed, with what
was, apparently, her last shred of
defiance. In another moment she'd
buried her face in her arms, lay
quivering with sobs.

Macias scowled at her a moment.
Then he picked up a telephone; gave
a number curtly.

“Hello! Speak to Wong.” |

A moment's silence. Then: “Wong?
Got a job for you. Get here as
quick as you can.”

Replacing the receiver, he turned
to the trembling girl on the sofa.
“Wong’ll see that you get out of
town,” he said, with an abrupt laugh.
“And that you don’t come back,
either. Maybe next time you'll obey
orders.” |

Slowly horror poured awful real-
ization into Devona’s numbed brain.

airman and soldier boy.

If the volunteer is accepted, she
will be issued a smart uniform and
enlisted in the Canadian Women's
Auxiliary Air Force or the Canadian
Women's Army Corps.

delay in handling applications. Suc-

once to report for medical examina-
tion. Rate of pay is ninety cents a
day, with uniform, medical services
and board supplied.

Applications are available at all
R.C.A.F. recruiting centres, at Mill-
tary District headquarters and at
the offices of National War Services
divisional registrars throughout Can-
, ada,

Successful volunteers for the Cana-
